| Abstract | A significant number of reports incriminate various drugs, especially vancomycin and amiodarone of provoking bullous linear IgA dermatosis. This entity also includes the subset of IgA-mediated epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. We report on a patient with histopathologically and immunologically proven bullous linear IgA dermatosis, who developed this condition during treatment for hypertension with enalapril. Treatment with low doses of dapsone, 25 mg daily, was efficient. There is strong evidence that the condition was triggered by enalapril. | |
